I know we're strapped for cash, but can we take the high road here and refuse payment (we're allies of Alluvia, and all)? We'd probably score some dignity points with Ursolan, and if the info is good, he might end up owing us one.

Besides, every Alluvian type i've ever encountered has always assumed i was out for money (like that jerk of a clerk shoving me off when i had critical information about the events at Marblebush, that one time). Maybe these people would start taking us more seriously if they got it through their heads that we're serious too.

I knew you were busy with real life. It's just that Higaide postulated that you might consider your previous post as "opening the letters", which sent me in a panic. What would happen if I had to wait another day? I would go crazy! We couldn't allow that to happen, now would we?

But it's just the Olthoi version of a mailman. Probably a type of Olthoi we've never seen before. I'm betting ten pieces of platinum that Kez is going to tell me: "You're evil and must change your ways."

I was going to write a response after I read the letter, but since you're asking out-of-character: we don't have the money or resources to do it. I would rather help the humans build homes in Holtburg's new unoccupied area. Osteth is "safe" for now, but I don't think it will stay that way. The whole setting is progressively going to hell. Give it another year and war will be everywhere.
